In Reply to: But without HP and TAS... posted by mkuller on March 2, 2011 at 19:04:48:
If no HP and TAS, there would have been some other guy filling the niche.
Nothing at all against HP or TAS, I value both, but I won't go along with the notion that if it weren't for HP we wouldn't have knowledge of any high end gear from the last 40 years.
Hell, for all we know, there were more audiophiles buying Hi Fi gear before the hobby got ruined by us "aficionados."
I'll go search and try to compare circulation numbers now vs. the electronic/hobbiest magazines from before HP. It may be enlightening!
